âSweetheart, Iâve misunderstood you.â
Ophelia shook her head and said, âMadeleine, over these years, Iâve never bad-mouthed the Conduibh Family for I want to put it all behind me and truly move on. Iâve really made it now. I officially have no feelings for Tassach and let go of the grudges against the Conduibh Family. They are a family of unreasonable bullies and only do what they think is the right thing, just like how they would frame me to trade the company secrets before even it meant that they would end up having a huge loss on company profits. Itâs futile to reason with these kind of people. They would only more brutal and cockier if you try to fight with them. The only way to deal with them is to completely ignore them and then they would have no fun in torturing us and would stop bullying over time.â
Hearing Opheliaâs speech, Madeleine struggled to say something but eventually compromised, âWell, arenât you sharp-tongued? What is left for me to say? Iâm literally defeated.â
Ophelia let out a laughter, âThere are no winners and losers in this. Weâre too close to argue for that. I really feel like eating stinky tofu right now. Letâs go grab a bite.â
Madeleine acted to frown upon Opheliaâs decision, âMy darling, could you have something normal? Itâs true that pregnant women would have a change of taste, but no one has ever yearned for stinky tofu! What a repelling smell!â
Ophelia giggled and seemed to be joyful.
However, the pair eventually went to have stinky tofu and enjoyed it heartily.
Having another bite of tofu, Ophelia asked, âBaby, what if that old bitch really hands your old photos with Tassach to Zachariah?â
âWell, there are no photos of us that Zachariah canât see. They are all from the past and are useless now. The Chambers wouldnât hold them against me, right?â
Madeleine knew that Ophelia had a point, but was a bit hesitant since those rich people all thought highly of their reputation and there was telling if they would really care about this.
âWell, youâd better fine a time and tell Zachariah the whole thing. Though he can be a bit of petty and possessive sometimes, he is really reliable when it comes to the crunch.â
Ophelia laughed and just took Madeleineâs words as compliments for Zachariah.
Madeleine glared and said, âHoney, Iâm certainly not joking with you. Only Zachariah have ways to handle those weirdos in the Conduibh Family.
Moreover, you are his wife. He ought to step up for you now that you are bullied.â
Ophelia giggled, âMadeleine, stop joking.â
âHoney, Iâm being dead serious. That old bitch would really pull a shit like that. What if she really houses some suggestive photos of you and Tassach like the pictures of him kissing you when you were asleep? These kind of pictures can be really indicative.â
Ophelia flicked Madeleine on the forehead and said, âMadeleine, stop having these wild imaginations. The real life is nothing like what you would write in your romantic novels.â
Madeleine protested, âBaby, the romantic novel has its roots in the reality. Novels certainly wouldnât exist if those plots havenât really happened in real life.â
The odds of winning a debate against a writer was really slim.
After finishing the stinky tofu, Madeleine said seriously, âHoney, I meant it. That old bitch is really a tough cookie to crack and Zachariah is the only one who can triumph her.â
Ophelia just felt like amused and shook her head.
Madeleine didnât dive further into the topic and just changed the subject, âDo you want to eat something else?â
âHow about ice cream!â
Madeleine was astounded, âSweetheart, are you serious? You are pregnant!â
âWell, Iâm just suddenly in the mood.â
âNo way! Ice cream is too much. Youâve already had a bunch of snacks before. You would get upset stomachs if you have it.â
âJust one, please!â
âNot even a bite.â Madeleine rejected firmly.
âHoney, Iâm really craving for that! Plus. The baby is also felling snacky and wants to eat ice cream.â
Madeleine just canât say no to Ophelia when she was acting all cute, so she got soft-hearted and said, âFine, you can have it, but just one.â

The Vixen's Man ï¤15 Ophelia nodded, but ended up having three ice creams.
Madeleine was beyond anxious in the end, âHoney, stop it. Itâs more than enough. You would have a stomachache.â
But Ophelia was pretty satisfied, âI donât know why, but ice cream is especially yummy today. I just want canât stop.â
Madeleine glared at her, âDonât you dare to complain that you are feeling terrible later.â
Ophelia held Madeleineâs hand and smiled, âPlease, donât be mad at me.â
âAre you full now?â Madeleine asked smilingly, âLetâs go shopping then.â
Ophelia shook her head, âLetâs skip it and just go home.â
âDonât you suggest that you want to get some clothes before?â
âIâm a bit drowsy now. Your godson said that he wants to get some sleep.â
âDonât you try to use my godson or goddaughter as excuses every time you want to get away with something.â But Madeleine had really no other options but to get her home, âLetâs go back then.â
Ophelia giggled heartily.
Madeleine drove Ophelia back to her house and saw Zachariah coming over when she just parked the car.
Madeleine gestured at Ophelia who turned to see Zachariah The Vixen's Man
